Learn Maya and Spanish-influenced Guatemalan cooking in a three-hour Lake Atitlan class with local cooks, lunch, recipes, and community impact.
“This was such a great experience! Santiago allowed us to be hands on and even gave us recipes to other dishes in addition to what we prepared. Cooking classes are an excellent way to immerse yourself into local cultures!”
Grind corn and spices with a Guatemalan family, cook Pepián or Jocón, and learn Mayan food traditions during this four-hour Antigua class.
“The cooking class was amazing. Maritza met me outside my hotel and soon after we went to the market where she got fresh products for the lunch. We took a chicken bus over to her place and started cooking Pepián! She was extremely kind, and offered Jamaica and her homemade chips with beans and queso. I also had the chance to make some tortillas which was a fun experience as well. Her entire family is so kind and i recommend this cooking class to everyone!!!”
